Kenny Chesney is a country music superstar, although his first release, titled "In My Wildest Dreams", was released to lackluster sales in 1994 on independent label Capricorn Records. However, singles from the album proved that there was a fan base for Kenny's music, and his subsequent albums have proven this.

The success of Kenny's music is remarkable. Of the first thirteen albums he released, eleven were certified gold or higher by the RIAA. His debut may not have sold record numbers on Capricorn Records, but the independent label's release spurred two singles, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes" that garnered enough success to prove that Kenny had star potential. Capricorn Records decided to discontinue publishing country music later that year, but Kenny was destined for bigger things.

Kenny Chesney's amazing career includes four consecutive AMC Entertainer of the year awards, sic CMA awards and more than thirty top ten country music hits.

During the 2007 summer touring season, his tour was the highest grossing country concert series of the year.

Kenny Chesney's hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee is just next to the Smoky Mountains and deep in the heart of the country music, just down the road from Nashville.

Although his first 'official' release was in 1994, he actually recorded a record in 1989 in Virginia which he sold at his various gigs.

After venturing to Nashville when he graduated from college, he worked to get in front of music producers and publishers. In 1992, he achieved his first real success with a deal with Opryland Music Group and BMI. Despite his youth, Kenny's experience playing for live audiences no doubt showed his potential.

The 2009 tour includes a show on September 12 in Charleston, South Carolina, at the North Charleston Coliseum. This tour is one of the mega tours of the country music summer season with tour dates all across the United States and Canada.

Kenny Chesney's summer concert tour this year includes a stop in Charleston, SC on September 12 at the North Charleston Coliseum. Kenny's tour is one of the biggest of the summer with venues across the United States and Canada.
